Artemis Fowl: The Time Paradox (pt. 3)
During the mix up of Holly and the lemur, the "Extinctionists" manage to capture both of them and take them to their headquarters. Artemis Sr. Disguises himself and enters the meeting (which is formal and resembles a banquet). Artemis seeing that other Extinctionists have begun to doubt the credibility of the leader, due to fake claims of new species, starts questioning their leader and all the members begin to question if Holly is in fact just a fake person. Artemis starts out by asking why her mouth is covered, then he he makes a case on why the new species is sedated. The leader enraged at this calls Artemis up to the stage and allows him to examine her. Holly regains consciousness and Artemis and Holly create a plan to escape. Artemis begins by pretending to pull of Holly’s ear (which she makes invisible using her powers) to make it seem like a normal ear. Next he pretends to wipe the makeup off of Holly, to make her seem more human. For the spectators, this is the last straw. They try to revolt against their leader, after they’re convinced that he is trying to kill humans as well as other species. Raging wildly he sends Artemis into a fiery pit, which turns out just to be a hologram. At the bottom of the pit, Opal Koboi’s (evil fairy’s) lab is found where she is taking out the brain fluids from extinct species to make herself the most powerful pixie in the world.

Artemis Fowl: The Time Paradox (pt. 2)
Artemis and Captain Holly go back in time, and wind up in Artemis' bedroom. However Butler, Artemis's butler, finds them and believes them to be a threat, since he doesn't know who they are. Butler tranquilizes them and puts them in the trunk of Artemis' Bentley. Young Artemis and Butler take their victims to Rathdown park, where they are about to steal the lemur from an exhibition at the zoo. When Artemis Jr. and Butler go and stake out the security, Artemis Sr. and Holly encounter an old friend (though he isn't a friend yet in the time they are in), Mulch Diggums, a criminal dwarf. (In the book, dwarves are nasty creatures, who eat dirt and love to build tunnels). As Artemis Jr. is trying to steal the lemur, Artemis Sr. try to take it before him and there is a fight between the Artemises. Artemis Jr. manages to take the lemur, and tranquilizes the three. Later on, Artemis Jr. is meeting with the head of the "Extinctionists" who he will be making the deal there. However, since Artemis Sr. knows where the deal will be making place, he sets up to take the lemur before, Artemis Jr. reaches there. Through a turn of events, Artemis Jr. manages to capture Holly there as well, pondering over the fortune he would make for selling a fairy.
Artemis Fowl: The Time Paradox
Hey Everyone!
I just started reading Artemis Fowl The Time Paradox. This book is the sixth in its series, and is a fantasy/sci-fi themed book. The series is about a criminal mastermind named Artemis Fowl who is twelve (in the first book). His lust for power drives him to find a lost civilization of fairies. The fairies however have extremely advanced technology and a ton of gold. Artemis, trying to sustain his family after his father disappeared, captures a fairy, named Captain Holly Short, and holds her for ransom. After an eventful storyline, Artemis and the Fairy people become allies and take on other villains through the next four books.
Now in the sixth book, Artemis' mother is gravely ill with a fairy disease (which is even more deadly to humans). Artemis has just found out that the cure for the disease is a derivative of oils from a silky sifaka lemurs' brain. The conflict is that Artemis had had the last lemur killed for a few million dollars to the group called "The Extinctionists" who work to rid the world of every species except humans. Artemis hatches a plot to go back in time with the help of a powerful demon warlock, who can fabricate time. That's as much as I've read so far, I'll keep posting when I read some more.
